George Leach responds to the article about Darwinian Software with a 
request for further information on the subject...

Danny Hillis presented his work at the 2nd Conference on Artificial
Life, held in Santa Fe, the week of Feb. 4.  Lots of other interesting
ideas were presented, too.

The proceedings of the 1st conference have been published by
Addison-Wesley.  The second set of proceedings will be published next
year, also by Addison-Wesley.

You can get more information about the conference by contacting Chris
Langton @ the Santa Fe Institute for Non-linear Studies, (505)
667-1444.

(I was there, talking about computer viruses as a form of artificial life.)
